It's not clear how Jerry and Elizabeth Moore's cat, Tommy, got stuck in the garage in late November. The neighbor's visiting daughter discovered Tommy on Jan. 20 when she investigated a yowling noise she heard coming from the garage in St. Augustine Beach.

Elizabeth Moore told The St. Augustine Record that veterinarians said Tommy was "severely depressed" after his ordeal and the best medicine was care at home.

Tommy also received stitches and a blood transfusion. The cat lost about six pounds during its disappearance. The Moores said eating and gaining weight has improved Tommy's mood.
